More Hunter Wendelstedt: "Apparently what he said was there was a fan right above the dugout. This isn’t my first ejection. In the entirety of my career, I have never ejected a player or a manager for something a fan has said. I understand that’s going to be part of a story or something like that because that’s what Aaron was portraying. I heard something come from the far end of the dugout, had nothing to do with his area but he’s the manager of the Yankees. So he’s the one that had to go.”

this may or may not have been a strike, and yes 'you cannot argue balls and strikes' but ffs show a tiny bit of perspective before ejecting one of the biggest (and legendarily nicest) stars in the game *when he's walking away*

hey look, maybe the ump was just a sympathetic guy and saw an aging reliever that could do with a handout after his recent (5 years) form

But on a more serious note:
